The Butterfly Cycle
By Ashley P.M.
L et's explore a butterfly's
life cycle in detail, in-
cluding all four stages of the
butterfly's life.
All butterflies have
"complete metamorphosis.”
This means that to grow into
an adult butterfly, they go
through 4 stages. First, they
start as an egg, then become
larva, pupa and adult.
Each stage has a different
goal. For instance, caterpil-
lars (larva stage) need to eat
a lot. In the adult stage, but-
terflies need to reproduce,
and this is very important for
Monarch butterflies, which
population has drastically
been reduced. The U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service in Feb-
ruary said that since 1990,
about 970 million Monarch
butterflies have vanished.
Now going back to other
types of butterflies. The life

The movie HOME is funny,
sad, and cool. There was a

The Boov take over
Earth and put all the hu-
mans in Australia.
One day, Boov wanted
to make more friends and
sent out a party invitation
to everyone in the galaxy,
which told their enemies
different mood or telling a
lie. This happens to the
main character Oh, who
makes a lot of mistakes but
learns from them.
The other main charac-

grader. She knows how to
drive a floating car. She lost
where to find them. Oh tries

More HOME Movie Reviews
By Abraham F.
H OME is a good movie
to watch. I think
HOME is great for little kids
to watch, because it is a
great family movie. It is
about an alien named “Oh”
and “Oh” helps a girl
named Tip find her mom.
Abraham F.
T he title of the movie is
called “HOME,” be-
cause the aliens named
Boov need a home. The
Boov chose Earth as their
new home, but they moved
all the humans away from
their homes.
I like the movie, because
the alien, Oh, goes on an
adventure with Tip, a human
girl, and her pet cat named
Pig. They set out to find
where the Boov moved Tip’s
mom, and learn a lot about
what is important on the way.

not as bad as everyone
thinks.
The movie was also
very funny where they were
making faces and when Oh
was changing colors. When
Oh is happy, he turns pink.
When Oh is mad, he turns
red, and when he is lying,
he turns green.
T he Roosevelt Times
reporters went to see
the movie, HOME, at Fox
Studios. The movie HOME
has already been released,
and if you haven’t seen it,
you should.
My favorite part is when
the alien creature named
“Oh” changes colors.
Whenever his feelings, his
skin changes colors.
Oh is part of an alien
race called Boov, and the
Boov want to find a planet
they can call Home. They
come to Earth and move all
the humans so they can set-
tle on Earth but they miss a
girl named Tip.
There is a lot of adven-
tures that Oh and Tip go on
while they are trying to find
Tip’s mom and Oh is trying
to save the Boov. I think
this movie was awesome!
Lezama M.
T he movie “HOME” was
interesting, because you
got see what might happen
among aliens. The movie
was very funny. I loved the
part when the girl Tip found
her mother.
The characters in the
movie were the girl Tip and
the Boov alien, named “Oh.”
Oh wanted to invite all
the Boov to a party, so he
sent out an invitation to the
entire galaxy, including ene-
mies of the Boov. I liked it
when Oh said, “Oh: Oh,
no! My hands are in the
air like I just do not care!
Oh tries to stop the invi-
tation from reaching the
Boov’s enemies, while Tip
tries to find her mom. Oh
makes Tip’s car fly by using
slushies for fuel, but we
don’t recommend you try it
on your parents’ car!
Sophia R.
It was also funny when
Oh made Tip’s car into a
flying slushy car. He used
slushies to make the car fly.
At the end when Oh
finally gets friends, they
start the music and all the
Boov start to dance. This is
a fun movie to go see with
your family or friends. 
T he movie HOME is
amazing, because it is
really funny—like when Oh
says, “Oh: Oh, no! My hands
are in the air like I just do
not care!” The funny part is
when Oh thought that the cat
Pig was going to pop.
I like the movie, because
is has friendship and sad-
ness.
Alex R.
T he movie “HOME” is a
comedy. The best part
was when the main charac-
ter, Oh, an alien, said “I al-
most did a number 3.” An-
other time, he drank what he
thought was lemonade, and it
wasn’t.

As a storm wizard you are
very strong, but you mess up
your spells a lot from level 1

a fizzle. Fizzling happens to
every kind of wizard, but it
happens to storm wizards the
most.

The Cool Black Night

By Cameron S.

B atman is an regular he-

ro. He does not have
any super powers, so he oth-
er things to fight bad guys.
Even though everyone
thinks he is average, Batman
is actually really cool be-
cause he has lot of suits for
every occasion. He has suits
to go into space, a toxic suit,
winter suit, and the armor
dark suit.
Another reason why Bat-
man is amazing is because of
his equipment. He had a tool
for any problem. Like the
batarang, mini batarang, gas
pellet, and electric gloves.
His tools are one his main
defenses.
Last reason Batman is
great is because he has a ton
of vehicles. Batman's vehi-
cles name's are 1st tumbler,
2nd tumbler, 1943 bat mo-
bile, 1947 bat mobile, and
the bat cycle. Batman's vehi-
cles can also can fly and go
under the water.
Just in case you did not
know Batman's secret identi-
ty is Bruce Wayne. Bruce
Wayne is a millionaire,
which is the only reason why
he can afford to have all
those cool objects. 

The Story Behind the Harlem Globetrotters

By Monica M-H

H ave you ever heard

about The Harlem
Globetrotters? Well, if you
haven't, then this is what you
need to read.
The Harlem Globetrotters
are a team that doesn't really
play but more like performs.
They do funny basket ball
tricks. It's also good and ap-
propriate for the whole fami-
ly.
They are really funny, but
some people aren’t fans.
Maybe it's because many
basketball fans take basket-
ball seriously and they don't
like people to take it like a
joke.
Anyway, you can get
tickets to go at Ticketmaster
or Harlem Globetrotters.com.
They only go for sale during
February. You will have to
check to see when they are
planning to come back to Los
Angeles, because the Harlem
Globetrotters travel all over
the United States.
If you didn’t get tickets
this year, be sure to get them
next year. Don’t expect the
same thing you’ll find in a
regular basketball game, be-
cause the Harlem Globetrot-
ters are playing some kind of
tricks.
If have already have seen
them once, going to see them
a second time will surprise
you, because they play differ-
ent teams and play around
differently.
So, what are you waiting
for? Go ask your parents for
some tickets (Remember use
your cute face). This is fun
for everyone in the family.
